This bra is pretty but the flaps on top that you are supposed to be able to tuck in for a more revealing look won't stay down. Also, I don't get a lot of lift with this style. I don't regret buying it though and I love having it in my collection. I''m plus but I am small oN top, so I really appreciate being able to find briefs that fit below while still being really pretty and feminine. Kudos to DVT and BN.

I love this bra. I love it. I love it. I love it. It has demi-cups that give enough coverage and give the perfect boost and shape to my breasts. It's sexy AND comfortable. When it's cold in the room you can tell, but I don't mind that b/c I don't want my already large breasts to be made any bigger.
I would love more colours (especially a nude that was for darker skins), I would buy 10 more if they made it in a racerback, also if they made the matching thongs a little smaller - they come up too high on the hip and belly!

I've worn Marie Jo for years, it's just such a gorgeous, wonderful bra. It hides headlights, it looks sexy and it gives support. I like the "rubber" they add to the back so it doesn't move - I just wish they'd add it to the straps as well. Over time they stretch, so the sticky material would be fantastic. But for 34Ds, this thing works wonders.

This product has no padding, and comes with thin but supportive cups with wire under base. Like any French bras, the quality of lace and details are beautiful and are to last. However, size-wise it is rather bigger on the band compared to Marie Jo and Chantelle bras. I feel this bra is not suppose to feel snug or tight, as the straps and band seems to run a bit large/long. However, it is very comfortable.
It is hard to find bras for anyone with small rib cage and bigger cups, so I am glad I could find my size here. (171cm/53kg/30f-g) For size reference, I'm 37.5inches up and 26inches under.

I normally am a 30 DD, I ordered this specific style in 32 D, since it is the sister size.
My biggest problem whenever I purchase a bra in the sister size is that it fits too loosely, so when shopping Dita's collection I made sure to order bras in which the straps can be fully tightened. So with that in mind, I went ahead and gave the Madame X bra a chance. After trying the bra on & figuring out how far to hook it, I was able to get a nicely snug fit from the band. (Remember that when it comes to bras, support *should* come from the band, so for those of you in the 28" to 30" range I suggest you start from there.) The straps are very adjustable so I was able to tighten them to my liking, giving me a perfect & comfortable fit.
I was worried the bra would not be supportive enough, I assumed it would only be something you wear for the purposes of seduction BUT the seamed part of the cups is actually quite sturdy. The best part is that the lace section of the cup is lined with a sheer nude fabric, so if you have your nipples pierced (like I do) you do not need to worry about any painful fabric snags. The overall feel of the bra is soft, and even though all the straps on the bra give it a harder & edgier look, the Madame X bra feels like a dream.
I must say that I am surprised by how well it fit & how flexible the Madame X bra is! I am aware that Dita received some backlash for not catering to women who have small band sizes & larger cup sizes, but the Madame X bras are an ideal solution to that problem.
I would highly recommend this bra & I do plan on purchasing it in other colors.
Hope this review helped!

I have been using this bra for a while and love it. I have the ivory color, as the nude was not yet available. I have several different styles from this brand and it is one of my two favorites. It is comfortable, even in my tighter band size (I wear either a 30F or 32E). The straps don't fall down, and I have a really short torso and not the squarest shoulders. Other Simone Perele models have more strap slippage even after alterations were made to prevent this. I'm lazy and just wash this in my machine with a special structured bag which is shown here. I like this company because the products just keep getting better.

This is a great example of a comfortable AND sexy bra. I'll never understand why this combination seems so rare. The satin is quite nice and it looks great on. I purchased the matching thong and I'm just as pleased with that as well. The pricing makes this set a great value.

This bra is beautiful, well made and fits perfectly. I wore it today and there was no breaking in period. I have ordered another color and also purchased the boy shorts from another site. I usually wear a t-shirt bra and wanted something pretty for a change.

I am in love with this bra. I bought it in black and nude. It feels like I'm not wearing anything at all while giving lovely, natural-looking shape. I have wide set breasts (36") and a very small ribcage (30") so it's always a challenge for me to find a good fit. I ordered the 32D which fits like a glove. Even better, the nude bra is great even for my thinest white shirts - even the silk ones. It's my new fave.

Took a good look at my bra drawer and realized I needed to do some shopping. My favorite bra had been discontinued and the search for something that is even pretty good was difficult. This bra is the one! Supportive enough, light but covers well. I do think you can go down a band size, but otherwise, I love it and need to order more!

Fits well, usually I purchase Chantelle Rive Gauche 3part bra, but thought I'd try this one. It may fit a little more snugly than the rive gauche, but I felt it was a good fit. It's lovely. My size is 42 D, and I am 63 yrs young. I am very happy with this purchase, will try a black next, wish there one or two more colors.

This is by far the most supportive bra that doesn't have any support panels or lining--a hard find for a sexy & lacy bra. Keep in mind that the lace stitching would probably show through with a tight-fitting shirt. The band size was spot on.
I love the wide straps---so comfy and they stay in place! You can wear this bra easily with a low-cut shirt.
I gave it 4/5 instead of 5/5 stars because I expected the cups to be cut even lower based on the name 'half cup demi'. I have natural 32D breasts with not much tissue at the top of the breast and the top of the cup rests just at the top of my breast. I feel like this is a half cup demi for someone that typically wears full coverage bras. Don't get me wrong---I wear only demi bras and I can fill this one out, I just expected a little bit less coverage reminiscent of a true demi bra.
Overall, excellent quality fabric, comfortable and sexy. Awesome combo.

I have two strapless bras by this maker, and they are comfortable, but most importantly, they don't slide down or shift in any way. By the end of the day, the side-stays can get uncomfortable, so I just limit the number of hours I wear the bra. It's a good quality brand, and worth the price.

Love this bra. The print is elegant and sexy. It has beautiful black satin piping detail. I wear a size 36 DD. This bra fits perfectly and gives a lot of support. All Dita's pieces are made with exceptional quality and attention to detail.

While the best fitting bras I have worn recently have been Chantelle and Betsey Johnson, this bra seems to be a contender for being right in their league. The only caveats I have are that a) the straps are so wide-set that they might perhaps "pinch"into skin a bit at the underarm area (in "standard" strap mode); however, the width means they are also great for use under wide-and-low-necked T-shirts, and b) of the 2 I have purchased, the foam on one of the cups seemed to "roll" a bit outward at the top area, so that one had to be returned (manufacturing issue?) On the plus side, the fabric on the band is super comfortable - soft and silky feeling, as well as apparently durable.
I have not had this product long enough to assess how well it holds up over time (I wash my bras on gentle cycle in cold water in a bra bag), but I am quite hopeful, as the construction seems reasonably solid.

I have been looking for a bra to wear around the house for a while and have been through several styles that ended up in the goodwill bag. This one is perfect. It is so comfortable, I don't even realize that I have it on. The cotton fabric is truly lovely.

This is my favorite bra. Fit is fantastic. Can be easily adjusted, which is important to me because I'm tall and some bras don't adjust far enough. Just enough padding to be discrete. The only downside is that the fabric pills, regardless of how carefully you wash the bras. That said, I still keep buying this bra.

I have several Marie Jo bras -- my favorite -- however the (32B) cup on this model is smaller than on other styles. I prefer the comfort of a double wide back and this is a single hook, but it's fine.
I wish the descriptions would tell us if the padding was stiff or soft, if the cup was molded or soft, and if it has a bottom boost. I have this same style in a molded cup with bottom boost. I was hoping this was the same.

The cotton fabric is amazing. The fit is extremely comfortable (34E). The lift really enhances the breasts. This is my very favorite bra and I only wish I had purchased it in black when it was available!!!!! This French brand is uber luxury, handmade.

A review of this bra on The Lingerie Addict's website suggested that this bralette would be a more "forgiving" fit (like most bralettes), so since my bra size is not offered in the Von Follies collection I decided to try this style out.
I am normally a 30DD, but for this style I purchased a 32C. I would've tried the 34C since it is one of the sister sizes to 30DD, but I knew that would be waaaay too loose for me.
Upon putting the garment on, I noticed that this specific style runs a bit looser than the underwire Madame X bra. With that in mind I need to wear this bra on the tightest hook in order to get the band to fit right. The cups on this bra are wide and are indeed "forgiving," and the straps can be tightened all the way to ensure complete comfort. The seaming works wonders when it comes to cup support.
Only downside is that the lace is free-standing, there is no sheer under lining to it, so if you have your nipples pierced be wary of your jewelry possibly snagging on the lace half of the cup.
I like this bra, it is comfortable and very soft but for me personally, it is more of an "at-home" or sleep bra. The benefit of the Madame X style bras is that the straps adjust, giving those with small bands sizes & large cup sizes the opportunity to enjoy the Von Follies collection.
I ordered the underwire version of this bra & also wrote a review, hopefully it will be helpful for those who want to compare fit. Regardless of which style you choose, both bras are exquisite.
